# Industrial Specification: Detection Probes

## 1. Technical Definition
Sensing elements that detect leaks by measuring physical or chemical changes in the environment.

## 2. Engineering Reasoning & Causal Matrix
> **Operational Intelligence**: Designed for **0.1-100 bar pressure, -40°C to 150°C temperature, 0-14 pH range**. Failure boundary: **Pressure &gt; 120 bar causes diaphragm rupture, temperature &gt; 180°C degrades piezoelectric crystals, pH &lt; 0 or &gt; 14 corrodes sensing electrodes**, Mechanism: **Diaphragm material yield strength (316L stainless steel: 290 MPa), Curie temperature of PZT-5A piezoelectric crystals (350°C), Nernst equation electrochemical potential breakdown**.

### 2.1 Analytical Physics Model
Governed by the **Combined Measurement Uncertainty**:

> **Primary Equation**: $u_c = \sqrt{\sum u_i^2}$  
> **Engineering Impact**: Defines the precision confidence interval for inspection.

## 5. Engineering Risks & FAQ
- **Caution**: 
- **Caution**: 
- **Caution**: 

### Q: What materials are used in Detection Probes for harsh industrial environments?
**A**: Detection Probes are constructed from corrosion-resistant stainless steel, chemically inert PTFE (Teflon), durable ceramic components, and gold-plated contacts for optimal conductivity and longevity in demanding machinery applications.

### Q: How do Detection Probes identify leaks in manufacturing equipment?
**A**: Detection Probes sense leaks by measuring physical changes (like pressure drops) or chemical changes (such as gas concentrations) in the environment, triggering alerts to prevent equipment damage and ensure operational safety.

### Q: What are the key components in a Detection Probe's bill of materials?
**A**: The core BOM includes the sensing element for detection, electrical contacts for signal transmission, a robust housing/enclosure for protection, and sealing gaskets to ensure environmental integrity and prevent false readings.
